  • Where to publish survey results
    • Link excel spreadsheet to the wiki/website
    • Scott will check to see if we can deposit to UW IR
    • We should mint a public PID (ARK, Handle, DOI, etc.)
  • What should be included in the final report?
    • Summary of this morning's discussion topics
    • Clear indication of what is needed for a follow-on grant (docs, tooling, etc.)
    • Recommendations, prioritized tasks to present to Fedora governance leading to concrete actions
    • Not a SWOT analysis, but a statement of the risks involved in not migrating away from Fedora 3.x
    • Clarity about what DuraSpace/Lyrasis should do vs. what other stakeholders should do
      • This will help with communication with other groups/service providers
    • Prioritization based on need and impact
    • Description of where this fits in with other DuraSpace/Lyrasis priorities (e.g. OCFL)
    • Consider SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Risks) analysis
    • Confirmation that people in the community aren't alone, DuraSpace/Lyrasis is on top of things
    • Beyond just migrating from 3.x to 6.x, thinking about future versions of Fedora
  • Should we check in like this every few years?
    • What problems are you facing, what do you need help with
    • This helps us get beyond our current governance structure, which heavily favours institutions that are able to pay membership fees
  • The results of this effort could be useful to other communities as well (e.g. DSpace)
    • The process could be useful to share as well
  • Dissemination
    • Presentation accepted at OR
    • The group will put a proposal into DLF
    • Islandoracon, Samvera Connect, CNI
    • Organize a webinar in the Fall
    • Publish a paper in an open access journal (e.g. Code4Lib)
    • Include in workshops and camps
    • Couple messaging with release of Fedora 6
  • Next Steps in the grant process
    • This is a planning grant, implementation grants typically follow
    • IMLS will put out a call for proposals in September
    • Support for a second phase would probably fall into 2020
    • What could a follow-on grant help fund in this timeline?
      • Hard to know before we see the results
      • Identify priorities in the report without assuming any grant funding, but indicate where funding would help accelerate these efforts
      • We want to be working on migration tooling as soon as possible
      • The grant could help fund migration guide, site visits, training
      • Probably target $150K
      • Revisit this once we have the results of the survey on the May 13 meeting
